an example of a map with real California

an example of a map with real California data on the top left circle that means

data on the top left circle that means

data on the top left circle that means that we see patients showing up with

that we see patients showing up with

that we see patients showing up with alcoholism and then if you got to the

alcoholism and then if you got to the

alcoholism and then if you got to the bottom right a year later we see these

bottom right a year later we see these

bottom right a year later we see these same patients showing up with liver

same patients showing up with liver

same patients showing up with liver disease or liver cirrhosis and then if

disease or liver cirrhosis and then if

disease or liver cirrhosis and then if you zip back to the left there they’re

you zip back to the left there they’re

you zip back to the left there they’re showing up a liver abscesses and you can

showing up a liver abscesses and you can

showing up a liver abscesses and you can do this zigzag or you could come

do this zigzag or you could come

do this zigzag or you could come straight down the squares mean the

straight down the squares mean the

straight down the squares mean the patients died of those two diseases so

patients died of those two diseases so

patients died of those two diseases so it’s really rare to die of alcoholism

it’s really rare to die of alcoholism

it’s really rare to die of alcoholism you typically die of those other two

you typically die of those other two

you typically die of those other two disorders the maps can get very

disorders the maps can get very

disorders the maps can get very complicated here on the Left patients

complicated here on the Left patients

complicated here on the Left patients show up at acute myocardial infarction

show up at acute myocardial infarction

show up at acute myocardial infarction that’s a heart attack you can die right

that’s a heart attack you can die right

that’s a heart attack you can die right away of that but if you take the

away of that but if you take the

away of that but if you take the northern route you end up next in a year

northern route you end up next in a year

northern route you end up next in a year with heart failure that means the heart

with heart failure that means the heart

with heart failure that means the heart muscle isn’t strong enough to pump the

muscle isn’t strong enough to pump the

muscle isn’t strong enough to pump the blood it needs and you can die of that

blood it needs and you can die of that

blood it needs and you can die of that or that leads to lung disease the orange

or that leads to lung disease the orange

or that leads to lung disease the orange circle and the fluid starts to back up

blood infection now I’m a pediatrician I never really saw many patients showing

never really saw many patients showing

never really saw many patients showing up but a heart attack but I always

up but a heart attack but I always

thought that if you had a heart attack

thought that if you had a heart attack it’s the heart that does does you in in

it’s the heart that does does you in in

that does he win at the end after three

that does he win at the end after three years and if you don’t take the northern

years and if you don’t take the northern

years and if you don’t take the northern route you can take the southern route

route you can take the southern route and you kill your kidneys first and then

and you kill your kidneys first and then

and you kill your kidneys first and then end up with sepsis that way now what I’m

end up with sepsis that way now what I’m

end up with sepsis that way now what I’m trying to do is to build these maps now

trying to do is to build these maps now

trying to do is to build these maps now I love Google Maps I use Google Maps all

I love Google Maps I use Google Maps all

I love Google Maps I use Google Maps all the time but they’re still one thing

Google Maps can’t do Google Maps can’t show you where all the cars are on the

show you where all the cars are on the

show you where all the cars are on the map I know it shows you the traffic

little car on the map how could it ever do that right but for me my vision for

do that right but for me my vision for

do that right but for me my vision for the University of California isn’t just

the University of California isn’t just

the University of California isn’t just to build the maps and show the maps I

to build the maps and show the maps I

to build the maps and show the maps I actually want to see what all of our 15

actually want to see what all of our 15

actually want to see what all of our 15 million patients are doing on the map

million patients are doing on the map

million patients are doing on the map where are they where are they going next
